The Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force has been investigating the sale of narcotics and dangerous drugs in the area of South Clinton Street and Main Street in the City of Poughkeepsie for several months. Numerous community members made complaints regarding drug activity and sales in this area and requested assistance from the Drug Task Force.
The investigation resulted in the identification of Najey Green, age 23, a fentanyl and cocaine dealer operating in that area. Drug Task Force Agents began purchasing fentanyl and cocaine from Green in this area and other locations throughout Poughkeepsie.
On 01/09/2025 Drug Task Force Agents with the assistance of the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Services Unit (SWAT) located Green in the City of Poughkeepsie with a large quantity of cocaine as well as fentanyl and took her into custody without incident.
Green was charged with the following offenses:

Several additional charges are pending in this case against Green related to this investigation and are expected to be filed by the Drug Task Force in the coming days.
